“Talking in the open seemed too much like a hassle.” Alexandra informed Leonardo as Zion poured them each a cup of steaming hot coffee.

Seated within the walls of one of Grey Enterprise’s many conference room, Leonardo allowed his gaze travel for a few seconds, admiring the interior of the company he had never gotten to see. Finally when his gaze landed on the steamy cup of coffee, he flinched and made no attempt to pick it up.

Alexandra on the other hand, she took a sip from her cup, relished in the feeling before tilting her head in Leonardo’s direction. “Do you think I poisoned it?” She asked with a smirk and when the male flinched once more, her assumptions were confirmed. “Doing that is too much trouble for me. And besides, you are not worth killing.”

He wasn’t worth killing? Did that mean that he was finally off her radar? Leonardo thought as he watched Alexandra place her cup down and fix her gaze solely on him.

As if reading his mind, she uttered. “Don’t have foolish thoughts,

    The price was steep.But Leonardo paid it with his full chest. Standing at the edge of her window, Alexandra watched her cousin leave after their meeting. She had heard a lot of things from him, things which were sure to help her in the long run and in return for her helping Vivian, Leonardo had agreed to help her with whatever she needed.Although she didn’t completely trust him. Just yesterday he was her enemy, no way was she going to blindly put her trust in him. She was smarter than she had once been. Repeating the same mistake twice wasn’t an option for her any more as that would only lead to a possible failure.Turning around, Alexandra pulled out her phone from her protect when she felt it vibrate. She glanced at her screen and saw it was a text message from Quinn. Without hesitating, she clicked on it and opened up the message.[I can’t seem to reach him.] Her text was plain without any further meaning but strangely it made Alexandra’s heart clench.She swiped away the massage

He tossed them on the table, allowing them scatter across the table and give Darius a full clear view of what were on each of them.Hastily, he reached for the closest picture and grabbed it off the table. A sigh left his lips when he was it a picture of him and Alexandra together. Several more after that followed and each one of them backdated towards the previous months. Even up until the point in which he had ran into her at the convenient store and they had shared snacks.Looking at all the pictures, Darius felt utter rage. “You bastard.” He sneered.But Cain obviously didn’t seem affected by his words. “What? Did you think you were the only one doing the watching?” He chuckled and crossed his arms. “Think again kid.”Darius balled h

    Back at Albrecht Empire, Lucien sat in the comfort of his office with the lights dimmed. He had his tablet held within his grasp and on the screen was the long list of Octavia’s call logs Lucas had provided.He had been looking through it for some time now and only one number seemed to stand out with its frequent communications and call history and when tracked back to its owner, it happened to be a certain man with the name of Marcus Sylvester.Lucien had never heard of him but suspected he was the person Octavia was colluding with to deceive him.The male sighed and placed the tablet down. Once again, Octavia was trying to blind sight him and take something that belonged to him away. Thinking of it that way angered him. But then that anger gave path for other thoughts to roam his mind.Had Octavia ever loved him in the first place? Had he really been the only one who had feel in love during all those years of them being together?How disappointing. Not only was he a fool in love, he

    It was cold.No matter how much she stirred around, Alexandra could no longer feel that one warm spot on her shoulder and unconsciously, her body became disturbed.Where had her perfect warm spot gone to? The question floated her mind as she drifted in and out of her sleepy haze, unaware of the person watching her sleep. Just when she had begun dozing off, Darius had woken up and just like she had told him, she was right there when he woke up with her eyes closed.Darius took his precious time to observe her sleeping face. It wasn’t every day he got to witness her sleeping. In the process of watching her sleep, her head bopped and she nearly slopped to the side. Darius was quick to catch her and chuckled. She looked like a fierce beast when awake but like an innocent rabbit when sleeping.One could almost mistake the two.Scooting closer, Darius gently placed her head on his shoulder and relaxed back in his seat. He had gotten a well needed rest and truthfully, could now thing better.

    Alexandra sat in her car with her head hung low.Ah, why had she panicked that way? Now Darius was feeling guilty for something he had not caused. And she… well she was left wondering what was so scary about liking someone.Probably the wounds caused by Lucien’s constant torment and neglect when they had been married. But even still, she had no right to stereotype people according to that experience. For all she knew, Darius might be different. No, he was different, Alexandra knew this and that was why her heart had unconsciously slipped even when she had reminded herself number of times that she had no room for romance.His annoying yet caring way of life. His humor and heartwarming characteristics. Darius was far way different from the man Lucien had been when she was married to him. Yet her heart still shrank away at the slightest thought of romance.That was something ironic being heard from the mouth of Alexandra Grey, a powerful business woman like herself, but it was only natur

    Vivian had cried until her heart was content. Alexandra had felt kind of bad of her s she held Vivian in her arms and listened to her cry, but in an instant, she wiped away such a felting emotion and instructed that the head doctor from Grey’s medical center be summoned immediately.After the medical checkup was completed, Vivian, along with Leonardo was sent back to their place while Alexandra stayed behind to clean up the final mess.As she was about closing the strategy meeting Zion, she felt her phone vibrate once again. When she pulled it out and saw it was Lucien, she sighed.Out of everybody present on the earth right now, she was not in the mood to deal with his bullshit. If the world could grant it, she’d instantly block his contact, but as fate has it, she had entered cooperation with him, that she was now regretting. Maybe the land in Paris-which was the only thing tying her to Lucien- wasn’t as important as she had evaluated it.Her company stocks had gone up twice the mar

    The grabby and touching hands, Vivian could still feel them each time she closed her eyes to sleep and this time, she woke up with a start, screaming and struggling with the blankets draped over her body.Leonardo was quick to find his position beside her as he rushed in from the living room and tried comforting her.“Sh. It’s okay now.” He cooed softly beside her ears after successfully getting her in his arms.She felt so fragile… almost too breakable for Leonardo’s sake and each time he thought back to all the doctor said, his insides burned with anger. Vivian had not been assaulted sexually, but yet, all the bruise and trauma inflicted on her was enough to break her.And the master minds behind the whole thing were his very own grandmother and her minion. Leonardo felt rage surge up inside him. He wanted to make them pay for their actions so badly. And that was why he was not hesitating to help Alexandra one bit.She wanted dirt of Agatha Grace and his grandmother, and then she ca

    “One chance? What exactly does that mean?” Darius asked after they had settled comfortably in the sand and began watching the waters. It was dark but the scene in front was still worth it. “Does that mean I get unlimited time with you?”Alexandra chuckled at his question. She found it funny that someone like him was asking such a question. She turned to him and shook her head with a tight smile on her lips. “No. My time is worth money.” She added the last part in when Darius’s face sulked. “But, it does mean you get exclusive privileges.”Her words brightened Darius up once more and in a bid to get the answer out of her faster, he leaned closer and hastily asked. “Privileges like what?”Alexandra quickly took notice of how close his face lingered near hers and dressed her face back. Darius didn’t give up despite that and leaned in all the more.“Privileges like what, Alexandra?”Instead of answering his question, Alexandra used her palm and pushed his face away.

    ~Five years Later.~Alexandra stood in front of her parent's grave- both Cory, Nova and Miguel- dressed in a fashionable black dress that draped down as far as her knee.Her hair- which had now grown back to it's full length- was packed up neatly and rolled into a bun at the end, accompanied by the black net cap she had on her hair.Alexandra stood with a bouquet of white roses in her right hand and daisies from the nearby meadow on the left. Those were not only symbols of peace, love, and hope but also reminders that life was still going on. She looked around slowly as if giving herself a moment to reflect upon how things have changed since then.Five years ago, when she had lost everyone she loved and was shattered to the core after her divorce with Lucien, Alexandra thought her life would never be same again. She had felt helpless and hopeless that time even with all the power and must accomplish goals, but now as she looked at both her adoptive mother and Biological mother grave w

    Alexandra rushed off to the location on her screen as soon as she could, even though she wasn't too kin on it. On her way there, she couldn't stop herself from asking all the what ifs, re-running even those possibilities that did not exist in her head as she drove.What if something happened to Darius?What if some enemy of hers got to him?What it Eleanor had sent someone after him?By the time she turned up in front of the given location, her mind was feeling with all sort of possiblities that she didn't even know that the house she had pulled up in front of was one of Darius's.It was only after she had rushed up to the front door and found it open that she took the time to examine her surrounding and this only made her worry all the more.Whoever she was going up against now had been smart enough to bypass Darius and his security and even broke into his house.Alexandra had felt her mind begining to reel once more when she calmed herself and reminded herself that she dealt with El

    ~Day One Out Of Seven.~Alexandra returned to the Grey Manor that night after her conversation with Eleanor over the phone had ended.The first thing, or rather, the first person she saw as she stepped into the house was Darius. He was pacing around the living room for a while until he noticed Alexandra and quickly rushed to meet her."Alexa... Where were you?" He asked, his voice dripping with concern and worry.Alexandra softly sighed out. "Calm down, Darius." She said while gently stroking his hair. "I'm fine. I just had to take care of something little.""What?""I found out how Eleanor knew about my pregnancy. The waiter back at the cafe was a spy for her and he must have reported our conversation to her that day." Alexandra informed."What?" Darius was angry, but then seconds later, his face crumbled and a tinge of guilt set in.I'd the waiter had only reported their conversation that day and Eleanor found out about their unborn child, then it was his fault. He couldn't stop his

    Eleanor pressed the button and imagine in that moment how it all played out.The best part of it all being that Alexandra was finally out of the way and she had emerged victorious after the long battle.No other thought could have made her smile the way she did.Eleanor's train of thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. She frowned, not taking too lightly to the fact that one of her useless henchmen or sons were distrubing her moment of celebration.She reached for her phone and picked it up, ready to lash out brutally in whoever's name was written on her phone screen, but to her utter dismay, it was an unsaved number.Eleanor stared at the digits of numbers across her screen with creased brows.'Who is it this time?' She thought after a while as she answered the call and placed her phone to her ear."Who is this?" She asked sternly.The other end of the line was silent for a while. Eleanor could make out the sound of someone mumbling in the background and then th

    Six out of seven of those days bad gone by. Eleanor had been unusually quiet. One would have almost thought that she bailed and ran away.But Alexandra knew better than that. She knew that the woman who had raised her in disguise as the perfect grandmother was more of a deadly predator than her sins gave her credit for.In other words, she isn't one to tuck her tail between her legs and run away. It was just a matter of time until she acted.'A matter of time...' Alexandra pondered those last few words as she watched as the last fragments of oranges, reds and yellows faded into a dark gray. The sunset had gone, and the blanket of night began to cover the world in the darkness of its shadow.After a while, she pulled her gaze away and sighed, focusing on the pile of work that was on her table.Because of Darius's over protectiveness, she had worked less in the last few days and barely ever came to the company. Today, she had escaped by miracle- miracle meaning that she had made more th

    For the first time in a long while, Alexandra felt panic shot through her as she read the letter in her hands. She allowed the paper drop to the floor after awhile as her thoughts became more loud than the sound of her heart beat.How was it possible? How could Eleanor have found out that she was pregnant?Alexandra thought, after all she had done everything in her power to make sure that Eleanor did not find out. To make sure that the news of her being pregnant did not reach the ears of any of her foe. Yet, here she was, hyperventilating over the fact that Eleanor had learnt of her child's existence while breathing like some dying cow.'Calm down, Alexandra.' she tried to calm herself as soon as she noticed how ragged her breathing was becoming.She found her way back to her bed and sag down, controlling her breathing and thoughts together. After a while, she picked up her phone and dailed Darius's number. The line rang for a few seconds as usual before Darius picked up."Alexei? Wha
